WHAT KEVIN SPACEY TAUGHT ME

ABOUT CONTENT MARKETING

Jason Dutton-Smith www.wordconnect.com.au @morethanroute66 1

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE STORY

HE TAUGHT US TO NOT

JUST CREATE A STORY

BUT TO CREATE

A GREAT STORY

Jason Dutton-Smith www.wordconnect.com.au @morethanroute66 4

1. CONFLICT

“Conflict creates tension, and tension keeps people

engaged with your story. Our stories become richer and

become far more interesting when they go against the

subtle order of things to really achieve something

different and unexpected.”

Jason Dutton-Smith www.wordconnect.com.au @morethanroute66 5

2. AUTHENTICITY

“Be mindful of falling into the trap of looking for keywords or quick

hits to boost their ranking on Google. Stay true to your brand and

true to your voice and audiences will respond to that authenticity

with enthusiasm and passion.”

Jason Dutton-Smith www.wordconnect.com.au @morethanroute66 6

3. THE AUDIENCE

“The device and the length are irrelevant to the story – Audiences have spoken.

They want stories! They’re dying for them. They’re rooting for us to give them

the right thing. And they will talk about it, binge on it, carry it with them to the

bus, and to the hairdresser, force it on their friends, tweet, blog, Facebook,

make fan pages, silly GIFs, and God knows what else about it and engage in

with it with a passion and an intimacy that a blockbuster movie could only

dream of.”

AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO

IS GIVE THEM THE STORIES

FINAL WORD:

“It’s the risk takers that are rewarded.

“Go take some risks.

“Tell your stories. Content

marketing matters”
